Abstract This collection of twenty-eight essays pays tribute to the memory of J. Bunker Clark (1931-2003), noted author, teacher, and performer. A specialist in American music, history of keyboard music, and the Baroque organ, Professor Clark for thirty-eight years--virtually his entire career--was professor of musicology, and later emeritus professor, at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. During the last twenty-one years of his life he was also the book series editor at Harmonie Park Press. The contributors are friends, former students, and colleagues. The volume is divided into seven subject areas that represent vital interests of the honoree: American music, keyboard music, early music, Mozart and Beethoven, music education, opera and musical theater, and aesthetics and historiography. A portrait of Bunker Clark as scholar, mentor, and editor, by William A. Everett, and personal reminiscences by Bruno Nettl, F. E. Kirby, and Marilyn Clark precede the essays.
